Two weeks later, Sylutia, under the guidance of Serophi, not only learned the spell "False Bouquet", but also had an in-depth understanding of the 12 runes used to construct this spell.

"Let's try it now, Tia." Serophi took the girl to an open space outside the garden.

"Okay, teacher."

Facing the target 50 meters away, Sylutia raised her hand, and in her consciousness Fate Disk, a brand new card lit up.

This is a card outlined by many lavender and cyan veins. These veins are like silk threads and circuits, flowing with the power of "Emerald Nectar" Aspect Power. In the center of the three-dimensional card outlined by them, a bunch of "Bright Flame Cornflower" is sealed in it like a heart.

As the veins light up, the "Bright Flame Cornflower bouquet" in the center also appears with a light golden halo.

In reality, the invisible flame Cornflower gathered in the hands of Sylutia, shining like gold Burn. Compared with the real Bright Flame Cornflower, it looked more delicate and blazing.

The flaming flower was thrown up and scattered into the wind. The broken petals hit the target in the distance, and just a small piece burned it away.

Seeing such a scene, Serophi looked complicated, but nodded.

Seeing the strange expression on the teacher's face, Sylutia couldn't help but ask why.

"Because the effect you showed... is different from the concept developed by this spell." Serophi had to remind him tactfully.

"The person who first invented "False Bouquet" actually used it as a useful curse spell."

"He will specifically look for high-end flowers with the two characteristics of "rare toxicity" and "powerful negative effects" as construction materials for spell cards."

"When the completed "False Bouquet" is cast, it will attach rare "poisons" and "negative effects" to the enemy, thus weakening and killing the enemy."

"Compared with common "curse rituals", False Bouquet can be performed repeatedly and conveniently without having to prepare rare raw materials every time."

"But in your case, the so-called "toxins" and "negative effects" are not as strong as the "Purification flame" effect of "Bright Flame Cornflower" itself."

"So, the good curse auxiliary spells turned into direct attack spells in your hands." He said with a sigh.

"Of course, it's not your fault, it's just that your talent and strength are too strong, and the Cornflower you cultivated is also very powerful, directly covering the negative effects that the spell originally focused on."

After listening to Serophi's explanation, Sylutia finally understood why the other party looked complicated.

She did build an excellent spell card, but the effect direction was completely different from the original design intention, although it was still very powerful.

"It's okay, teacher. If I develop a highly toxic Cornflower in the future, I will use it to replace the current "Bright Flame Cornflower"."

"I hope so."

After that, Sylutia went to Serophi to learn a lot of occult knowledge, including the high-level characteristics of each Aspect Power, as well as the incomplete Meditation Technique "Memory Labyrinth" she had previously obtained from Morris.

"This intermediate Meditation Technique should be the secret method of "Secret Speech" Aspect Power. I wonder if the teacher can complete it."

After taking the Meditation Technique notes provided by Sylutia, Serophi began to read and study them carefully.

"This kind of Meditation Technique..." After watching it for a few minutes, he had a rough understanding.

"This is indeed Meditation Technique of "Secret Speech" Aspect Power," he nodded.

"But it can't be said to be rare. Many scholar sects teach it. It's probably a very common mid-level Meditation Technique. If you want to learn it, I have the complete version here."

"Because of your special status, I can teach it to you directly, but because this Meditation Technique comes from "Librarian School", you need to use some resources to exchange it for contribution."

"What resources does "Librarian School" probably need?" Sylutia is curious.

"It's very simple, just give me twenty copies of "Level 3·Bright Flame Cornflower" of excellent quality."

"Although our organization is a scholar faction, its mission is to seal banned books and prevent their spread. Sometimes we will directly burn banned books, so we need some high-level resources with the "fire" attribute."

"That's it." Sylutia nodded.

Afterwards, she took out the 20 copies of Bright Flame Cornflower stored in "Blazing Sun Garden", exchanged the complete "Memory Labyrinth", and also asked Serophi for information about "Black Dream Meditation Technique".

"That is the signature Meditation Technique of "Night Dream Tea Party". According to this Meditation Technique, combined with the secret techniques of their faction, it can extend a variety of abilities and has a wide range of applications. In terms of the effect of increasing mental power, it is also very good."

"However, this Meditation Technique is not without its shortcomings. Not only will it not increase mental stability, it will also reduce mental stability during practice."

"When mental stability is low, it will be difficult to control the use of spells, often causing confusion, and even further affecting Transcendent's mood and emotions, causing it to gradually become unstable and collapse."

"A rough evaluation is that in exchange for "mental stability", Meditation Technique can gain a rapid increase in mental power and powerful attack effects."

"I personally do not recommend that you learn it. Although it can greatly improve your mental strength, it is not easy to restore your mental stability, unless you take some high-level tea therapy for a long time, or practice Meditation Technique of "Radiant Moon" Aspect Power to increase your mental stability and neutralize its side effects."

"I understand." Sylutia nodded, thinking that she might give it a try. In fact, her mental stability has always been very good. When tested before, it was far above the normal value, but the teacher in front of her didn't know it.

In the following weeks, Sylutia continued to study "False Bouquet" and learned the secret method "Wind Summoning Technique" (Vaulted Sky) provided by the Four Seasons Alliance.

This is a Wizard system spell that requires "Vaulted Sky" materials to assist in learning. After raising it to Lv.3, you can use the method given by the Four Seasons Alliance to fuse Branch Combing Technique and transform it into "Bountiful Wind" (Emerald Nectar·Vaulted Sky).

The materials are easy to solve, and Sylutia, which is now at the fourth level, has met the needs of cultivating "Bubble Grass".

In the next year, Sylutia stayed at "Blazing Sun Garden" to slowly replenish all the knowledge and abilities she needed, as well as cultivate her favorite flowers, plants and crops.

This year is probably the most regular, fulfilling and relaxing year since she came to the Woodland.

After my strength increases, I don't feel too much pressure. I study and read step by step on weekdays, walk in the garden, take care of the flowers and plants in my backyard, take care of Courtyard, and chat with my friends about recent situations.

Unlike "Lantern Town" who undertakes transit tasks and supplies various foods, the tasks of Blazing Sun Garden station are very simple. Sylutia only needs to maintain the place well and deliver certain high-quality crops on time. There are also skilled companions to help with other chores.

Unknowingly, the fourth year in the Woodland was spent leisurely like this. Although there was no change in height and appearance, many people felt that Sylutia had a much quieter temperament compared to the past, just like a young and ignorant girl turned into a quiet and decent young lady.

Such Sylutia naturally gained the respect of more resident members and gradually gathered its own prestige, but not everyone expected this.

"Oh, the shy, soft and cute little Tia is gone." Dorothy sat under the umbrella with his head propped up and complained softly.

In response to such words, Sylutia, who was sitting opposite her, could only shake her head helplessly. She was wearing a black gothic dress with a waistband today. The skirt was decorated with black pleats and had a layer of white pannier lining. The pure white lace sleeves inside the black sleeves covered the back of her hands, revealing her long white fingers.

"When facing something unfamiliar for the first time, I will definitely be in a hurry and a little panicked, but I can't be like that every time." She picked up the gold enamel teapot and poured Dorothy her own scented tea, and then poured herself a cup.

"Although, Tia like that looks very cute. It feels so innocent and easy to bully." Dorothy picked up the tea cup and recalled the scene when he met Tia two or three years ago.

"You are telling the truth, Dorothy." Sylutia wanted to hit this blonde beauty with something.

"Hey, you just said it without realizing it, Tia, can you just pretend you didn't hear it~" Dorothy pulled Sylutia's sleeves a bit cheekily, and spoke in a coquettish tone.

"No, Dorothy, please help me make some glass this week."

"Ah, it's glass again. I've almost become your exclusive glassmaker. Obviously you have a sea of flowers that are not afraid of erosion. Tia Why do you still need so much glass? Now you don't have to continue building a greenhouse."

"It's a secret that you can't tell Dorothy." The girl blinked, and in her light blue pupils, there seemed to be layers of blue Cornflower blooming, making Dorothy easily addicted to it.

"Okay, I'll just listen to you."

"Thank you, Dorothy, for your hard work."
